Legendary singer Michael Jackson’s mother Katherine has reportedly struck a business deal to produce and distribute movies about the life of the late King of Pop.

According to TMZ, Jackson’s mother has hundreds of hours of video, including the family’s move from Gary, Indiana to Los Angeles after The Jackson 5 signed with Mowtown in 1968.

Howard Mann, who co-authored a book called ‘Never Can Say Goodbye’ with Katherine, is reported to have bought the rights to more videos of the King of Pop owned by his friend and business partner Marc Shaffel, reports the New York Post.

Katherine, 80, is reportedly involved in a business deal to produce and distribute several movies about the life of the legendary singer.

However, the late singer’s estate has the exclusive right to market the Michael’s name and image, which could put the movie plans in a tricky legal position, TMZ reported.

Michael Jackson’s three children are being taken care of by the King of Pop’s ex-wife.

Jackson’s mother Katherine told that Debbie Rowe, mother of the late superstar’s eldest children is taking care of the kids.

Debbie is the biological mother of Prince Michael, 13, and Paris, 12.

Katherine said during a TV interview that she had never met Debbie, an ex-nurse before the King of Pop died in June 2010.

“We cried ­together. We talked. We had a nice time ­together,” the Daily Express quoted Katherine as saying.

“Debbie is happy with the ­arrangement the way Michael left it, with me as the children’s legal guardian. I respect her and love her for that. Debbie is their biological mother and I feel she should be in their lives,” she added.

“Debbie is now a regular visitor to Encino, the Los Angeles suburb where Katherine and the children live. We have clicked and I want those visits to continue,” said 80-year-old Katherine.

Apart from spending time with her children Prince and Paris, Debbie also takes care of 8-year-old Blanket, the identity of whose surrogate mother has never been revealed, reports The Daily Express.

“The kids are doing fabulously well. They are all straight A students,” Katherine said.

Late King of Pop Michael Jackson’s father Joe has filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the star’s doctor.

In his complaint, Joe, who is seeking damages of more than 75,000 dollars, alleges that Dr Conrad Murray was negligent in administering his son with the anaesthetic propofol and other drugs, the BBC reported.

He also accused him of secrecy and poor training and claimed that Dr Murray’s clinics in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Houston, Texas, did not adequately supervise him.

The case will run parallel with the criminal trial against Dr Murray, which is expected to begin next year.

A spokeswoman for the doctor said she would not comment until his lawyers had reviewed the lawsuit.
